*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[Matt79]

Watto to Clarke: yep, we suck.

 

[wpdavid]

Surely now is the time to bowl Swann with 2 left handers at the crease one would think.

Strauss agrees.

 

[Adamc]

****, what a nightmare.

 

[Demolition Man]

That is an awful decision, simply awful, massive inside edge.

 

[sledger]

Haha, that looked like a shocking decision.

Edit: Come to think of it, Rauf has had a very poor game, now a notable collection of crucial mistakes.

 

[Langeveldt]

Can't afford to lose another wicket today, but frankly speaking can't see that happening..

Though ffs, this is so annoying, 30 minutes of ****e batting is likely to cost us the Ashes...

Nah I don't think Australia are going to lose the Ashes yet.. And if they do, it won't be due to half an hour of stupid batting, more like 2 years of steady decline

 

[King Pietersen]

North gone, sounded very woody though. 108/5. Just need to get Katich out, if only to stop my eyes bleeding.

 

[TT Boy]

Poor decision that.

 

[Matt79]

Fickk. North sawn off. Shocking match from the umpires. We're dead.

 

[pup11]

Fmd

 

[tooextracool]

Unfortunate for North, looked like Swann was setting him up for that one tbh with his high backlift it was always on the cards.

 

[zaremba]

Hard luck North, by the sound of it... Begins to even up the decisions in this game so far I suppose

 

[pasag]

Fan****ingtastic.

 

[tooextracool]

technology please....

 

[Pigeon]

Done in by the bird after the girl.

Edit - Rough decision indeed that was.

 

[Demolition Man]

North gone, sounded very woody though. 108/5. Just need to get Katich out, if only to stop my eyes bleeding.

Probably cause he smashed the ball with his bat, god knows how the umpire didn;t hear it, I heard it.

 

[Pratters]

WTF? BROAD? What happened?

 

[Johnners]

Haha, it's like the umpires compete throughout the course of a match to see who can make the worst decision. Bowden ahead at this stage, but Rauf is doing his best to one up him.

 

[Matt79]

Anyone else developing a massive hatred of that Costa knob that SBS are advertising relentlessly at the moment? Maybe I'm just cranky at the moment.

 

[Burgey]

FAO SMITTEH AND ALL OTHER AUSSIES:

Have just received a text from Corrin which reads as follows;

"Tell Smitteh to suck it. Been telling everyone Broad rules and I was right"

Is he there?
What **** analysis from Bumble there. Shows 3 replays of a bloke getting out to wide balls and says "it's a plan". ****ing terrible.
